This section will be updated frequently as we learn additional information. Currently, be aware that the 2024-25 FAFSA will not open until sometime in December 2023, likely on December 31, 2023.

To be prepared to complete your 2024-25 FAFSA on or after December 31, 2023, students must have a Federal Student Aid Identifier (FSA ID) and a valid email address. Anyone else (such as a parent or spouse) who will be required to contribute information on your FAFSA must have their own FSA ID and valid email address. If the student or any others contributing information to the FAFSA do not have their FSA ID, get one now by going to Studentaid.gov and create an account (which creates an FSA ID) today.
